If anyone buys from him/her please be very aware they use the same stock picture for all their auctions for an item, what you see *may* be the quality level of what you get, but very likely not. They also do not list the defects for each individual auction, if they say anything about what is wrong with the item at all.
PLANET OF JUNK CLASH
WRECK-GAR and the Junkions aren't easy to understand - they speak in scattered phrases learned from Earth TV signals - but they're fiercely protective of their planet and the scrap piles that cover it. When the Autobots arrive, the Junkions come out weapons swinging. Before things get ugly, AUTOBOT HOT ROD ends the battle not with a bang, but with a bah-weep-granah weep ni ni bong.
The text is too blurry to tell what that word is, but it looks like "snoopy" or "speedy".WRECK-GAR
The Junkion leader wants to make sure the (something) AUTOBOT visitors get mud in their eye, by-and-by. Film at 11:00.
AUTOBOT HOT ROD
Uses the TRANSFORMERS' universal greeting and instantly turns the Junkions from enemies to allies.
JUNKION SCRAPHEAP
When your leader speaks only in phrases learned from Earth TV, the battle plan may sound a bit unusual.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

Not the greatest set overall. and yes it is a missed oppurtunity to make the long desired Detritus from Classics Hound... so that is a repaint that the 3rd parties will likely beat Hasbro too using their own MP style Hound moulds.
--------
Oh and regarding the earlier points I have no objection what so ever with Generation One Mould being used to make "New" Generation One Characters like Road Rage or Crosscut.
I would say however that such reissues (when a new Character) have more right to claim to be G1 toys even if they are released decades later than any toy that specifically resembles a current comic does - and even Botcon toys do simply as it's a matter of style & context.
But context is Important as I would for example offer the distinction of saying Masterpiece Prowl represents and Original Transformers Character (or G1 Character if you prefer) - bit that does not make him a G1 toy - but as I say I have no objection what so over saying Road rage is Generation One any more than I wouldn't have an objection to a 1990's European Copper box reissue being G1 also.
I would however offer the same kind of specific distinction between Character and Toyline to a whole host of other product like Q-Robo, Alternity, Binaltech/Alternators and so on.
I would also totally count Japanese G1 as an acceptable thing to Call Generation One even if it's not the same continuity as Western Transformers exactly because of context again. However I would be careful with my terminology when describing IDW Comics as that is so unlike the original Universe in so many ways that frankly it sort of "Breaks" the premise and can't so easily be said to be more than something that is "Based On G1" or to put it another way I legitimately feel IDW as a Universe is further away from "Original Transformers" in some cases than Kiss Players is.
Why.. ? well it has to do with Characterisation - they change the personalities and when you do that what you are making becomes more of a re-imagining than a simple "other take" on a situation. but also the Context - if the Lost Light was the Ark say then you have a stronger argument for the Pro-G1 interpretation but the more differences you add the more it drifts away.
In conclusion IDW is another type of Transformers story loosely based on G1 just as Transformers Energon or Transformers Animated is. .. it may however be a closer relative than Transformers Prime is though in some ways but I can't condone it being called "Generation One" in any way that suggests it's interchangable with the 1980s content, or product directly derived from the 1980's content (like Road Rage).
